Bahrain National Museum






We took advantage of the beautiful day and went to the Bahrain National Museum. It is very unusual but it has been raining. Last night we actually had thunder and lightning. Bahrain's history is very unique regarding the land and its people over the past thousands of years. One of the most interesting in my opinion is the burial mounds. The mounds were built 2 - 4 thousand years old. Thousands have been destroyed to make way for new roads and houses. Bahrain is growing so fast that the locals seem to believe that eventually the mounds will become extinct.
